Pope Francis- A Man of His Word

Watch Trailer
“POPE FRANCIS: A MAN OF HIS WORD offers audiences a thoroughly engrossing portrait of one of the most beloved and galvanizing figures of the 21st century. – Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

This documentary from three-time Academy Award nominee Wim Wenders (WINGS OF DESIRE) is a personal journey with Pope Francis. A rare co-production with the Vatican, the pope’s ideas and his message are central to the film.

The film’s direct-to-camera visual and narrative concepts engage the audience face-to-face with the pope, creating a dialogue between him and the world. Taking questions from people of all walks of life, Pope Francis responds to farmers and workers, refugees, children and the elderly, prison inmates, and those who live in favelas and migrant camps. The documentary also shows the pope on his many journeys around the world.

Throughout the film, Pope Francis shares his vision of the Church, his deep concern for the poor, his involvement in environmental issues and social justice, and his call for peace in areas of conflict and between world religions.
